Keeping warm at the office while still looking professional isn’t the easiest of tasks. Wearing a regular coat over your office ensemble is practical, but it takes away from that dedicated-business-person look you were going for.

Sometimes trousers can be really uncomfortable, especially in the waist. Standing up isn’t an issue, but when you sit down, bend over, or crouch, that waistband constricts down on your stomach and sides, leaving embarrassing and sometimes painful red marks around your midsection. You’re way too busy throughout the day to be restricted …
